* Reed Sheppard's new reddit/Twitter/online inspired nickname = "Cocaine Curry"
That's just amazing. 🤣
* Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson was suited up and ready to start the game when he got the call in St Louis that his wife went into labor. Fun clip of the dugout reaction....
* Probably not a lot of GYERO'ers tuning into the US Olympic Trials this week, but a couple gals I was rooting for.....
Gabbi Jennings -- 3,000 steeplechase, finished 4th. She won our local Turkey Trot this year, like random af.
Cory Mcgee -- 1500, moved onto the semis tonight.
Two local gals who are lookers, ifyounomsayin.
* Redlegs thoughts.......
- Andrew Abbott labored, walked 6, looked bad, and still managed to pick up the win by fighting thru some really tough spots.
- Noelvi Marte is now hitting .600 on the season, riding a 17-game hit streak.
- Will Benson FINALLY got off the proverbial schneid. Boy oh boy, did he need it.
- Spencer Steer is going to have a big 2nd half. Mark my words. Even during his awful May swoon, he was still hitting the ball hard.
- Jonathan India is hotter than a two dollar pistol. Just absolutely on fire.
* Reds don't get enough attention for their extra-base hit celebration. Player gets a double or triple, and does the little Donald Trump double jerk off two dudes dance.
* Let's all wish our good buddy, longtime TOWCHOP/GYERO contributor, hash tag girl dad, and former great head of lettuce haver wildcatc*** a happy birthday. The first time we hung out with the guy he drove down to BBdK's apartment around 2003ish, and we were checking him out in the peephole to make sure he was legit before actually allowing him in. Pretty sure we raised hell at @tmosphere that night on Baxter, and of course ended up at Labamba's. He's lucky to have us in his life.
* This thing is dead today.
